Have to be Psychic?!

As you know by my profile page, I'm (well I WAS) an affiliate for Vemma. About an hour ago on a webinar, I found out that the government shut down Vemma for being a pyramid scheme. You all know how much time, effort and money goes into promoting a product and company you believe in. Of course now I have to delete my WA site and watch all the work I put into it disappear!

My question is...do you have to be psychic in order to succeed in this line of business?! How are we supposed to know what is honest and true facts, or what is bullshit to entice trusting people into some shiester-run organization. One of Vemma's mantras was "it's all about people". That obviously was a lie, so if I was psychic I would have known that.

Trouble is I did a lot of research before I joined, and aside from a handful of negative comments, the majority was all good, and "sucker approved". So what can you really believe and trust in?
